If the Model 870 were introduced today, it would be hailed as a major advance in pump action shotgun design - the ultimate in strength, durability, silky smooth bind free action, and sleek classical lines. Yet this remarkable shotgun has been around for almost half a century, and has become the best selling shotgun of any type in history. The 20 gauge * * synthetic stock version is virtually indestructible. Rain, sleet, snow----whatever Mother Nature throws at it doesn't matter. The butt stock and forend stay dimensionally stable, and won't swell or crack due to weather extremes. Stock and all metalwork have black matte non-glare finish. Available with a 26" or 28" vent rib Rem Choke barrel and black synthetic stock.
